Check-Cap shares surge 11.71% after hours after clearing Nasdaq compliance, advancing MBody AI merger.

Check-Cap surged 11.71% in after-hours trading following confirmation that it has cleared a key Nasdaq compliance requirement, advancing its pending merger with MBody AI. The company regained compliance with Nasdaq’s shareholders’ equity standards on January 23, 2026, ensuring the highly approved merger—backed by 98% of shareholders in November 2025—remains on track for completion. This development reinforces investor confidence in the strategic transition to MBody AI’s artificial intelligence-driven diagnostics business, which has driven the stock’s near-100% rally in recent sessions. The after-hours jump reflects optimism about the merger’s potential to unlock value and resolve regulatory hurdles that previously threatened the deal’s timeline.
